Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of various images of Siberia in the amateur poetry by authors who were born in Siberia or lived in Siberia. For the purposes of this essay, the term "amateur poetry" is taken to mean poetry without poetic harmony and artistic value. Unlike high-quality fiction, amateur poetry contains a different set of interpretations of images of Siberia. As a result of the study, we made five main conclusions. First, the theme of Siberia helps understand the genesis of self and describe the phenomenon of own existence in the system of knowledge about the world. Second, there is a tendency to comprehend the fact of their own existence using the assertion of involvement in a small motherland or a global project. Third, there is a trend towards an idealized description of Siberia. Fourth, the description of Siberia in amateur poetry can become a way of social manifestation. Fifth, we give comments on the peculiarities of the use of geographical names in amateur poetry by Siberian authors. Sixth, we have identified the most frequent words mentioned about Siberia in amateur poetry and came to the conclusion that poets often described Siberia more in summer than in winter.
